A Rainy Weekend in Brighton


The average rainfall in October in Brighton is 14 days, which means there would be lots of rainy weekends. This usually leads to lounging around the house watching TV, playing computer games or just eating aimlessly. If you have kids then you end up spending hours-on-end trying to keep them entertained. Below is a list of 5 things that you can do in Brighton when it’s raining so you don’t want to waste your weekend!


Top 5 Things to do on a rainy weekend in Brighton:

- Watch a film at the Cinema - Brighton hosts a Cineworld at the Marina, and Odeon on the seafront/ West Street and their very own Duke of York cinema.

- Go to Churchill Square Shopping Centre

- Go to Bowplex at the Marina - great fun for all the family.


- Go out for a family meal or go for afternoon tea at your local café

- Visit Brighton Museum & Art Gallery - admission is free and in the middle of the City Centre. As well as visiting the Museum there is also the Royal Pavilion just round the corner.

What a Wonderful Weather Forecast


One of the most common subjects of discussion between British citizens is the weather. It seems there’s always something to talk about regarding the weather in the UK, as it changes its mind daily. So sit down, have a cuppa tea, and let’s talk about the weather.

The UK has already had a few of heat waves this year; one notable week was in March, which normally tends to have fairly miserable, chilly weather. This year was a bit different, being the warmest March in 15 years and the sunniest since 1929.

A month before the heat waves came a lot of heavy snow fall across much of the UK. An average of 2-4inches of snow fell in central, eastern and southern England, which left many roads un-driveable; the whole of the UK tends to come to a complete stand still when snow falls.

Snow has increasingly hit the UK over the last 5 years and is seen as an extra day off for a vast majority of the United Kingdom, as roads get frozen, children fail to make it to school and people struggle to get to work. Despite a lot of countries managing to get on with normal life when it snows, most in the UK decide to get outside and play.


British citizens are constantly trying to stay on top of the weather, and for good reasons. We could wake up on Tuesday with the sun gleaming through our homes, leaving us with no option but to get over-excited and put on our shorts. But you could wake up on a Wednesday to dark clouds, strong winds and heavy rain. A lot of people’s moods can be affected by the weather, so I guess that’s why we care so much.

People across the World got a good insight into the weather for Scotland yesterday, with a Royal weather man. Prince Charles presented the weather forecast for BBC Scotland and unfortunately didn’t have much good news to bring. No surprises there…

 
 
With pretty much nothing except rain to announce, Prince Charles put it rather well – “Thank God it isn’t a bank holiday!” – We couldn’t agree more, Charles.
